I did try the chili. It was good, but I mixed the ground turkey with lean ground beef. I t nneded more flavor to me. In addition, I added more seasoning than the recipe called for. has a different taste than what I'm used to, but it was good.Thank you to the president for the recipe!!

I understand people are excited but, uhm, has anybody tried making the chili? I was really looking for reviews for this dish from people before I tried making it myself. Thanks.
